 Guided Reading
Many teachers are expected to teach guided reading and yet have received little training to do so. Guided reading is a method to differentiate teaching reading to meet diverse students’ needs. Groups are flexible and there is a clear focus on strategy during the session. Guided reading is not each child taking turns to read aloud while other children follow.
During this workshop teachers will learn how to scaffold students by introducing the book so that each student can read the text independently on the first read. This session will clarify guided reading for teachers and ensure they know how to assess and group students, plan guided reading lessons and explicitly focus on reading strategies during the lesson. Participants will learn how to explicitly teach reading strategies to ensure children progress in reading. During the session a range of reading activities/learning centres will be introduced to ensure the teacher has uninterrupted time to take the small group for guided reading. This may be the only guided reading workshop I offer for the year so book early to ensure a place.
